#shelfietalk Thank you for this opportunity such an educational discussion with eye opening information.

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

From page 168 of the book there is a list of others to check out or explore!

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

Q8:I may suggest to look at these books here found at Indigo Chapters.The sharing Circle by Thresa Meuse, Phyllis' Orange Shirt by Phyllis Webster and Powpow day by Traci Sorely.These are all children's book that could be added in to benefit everyone. Pg168 book list #shelfietalk

@klivingstoneECE @ShawnFairweathr I completely agree!

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

Q7: You have deepened my thinking on how fortunate we are and how much education we can improve ourselves on to help the change. With that we can better understand more about the Indian act and how we can take steps to teach, learn and educate others of all ages. #shelfietalk

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

@MissWhitteker1 @Amby_20 @kaylalloydRECE Educator groups like this provide us all to open up our ideas and discussions on what to bring into the classroom. We have new ideas from other educators that we can try. Great way to learn through discussions!

@Amby_20 @MissWhitteker1 @kaylalloydRECE Last year at my collage we had a visit from an elder indigenous lady come in to teach us about the importance of learning about their history.

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

Q6: I will commit to #7 read books by indigenous authors to your children. I don't have children of my own but I can be sure to read these books to the children in my class. We can learn together through the books and questions that might come up with discussions. #shelfietalk

@MotherGooosey Love this!

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

Q5:Now is when the change should begin.We have started by partnering up with the local MAS giving the children time to learn about indigenous cultures/history. We have implemented indigenous children's books in the daycare& educate them to make it more of a reality.#shelfietalk

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

In order to teach those around us we need to be educated and in order to learn we need to be open minded by listening to others.

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

Q4: Acts 6-12 and acts 62-65 have connected with me personally and professionally because they are something I find I could advocate for and something I want to gain more education in. This is a topic we need to become familiar and open with so we need to learn. #shelfietalk

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

Q3: They had little to no rights, especially the women. "Children are taught their language is wrong" & indigenous wasn't to be tolerated". I am more aware of what is taken place and this book provided me with detailed in depth descriptions of the issuers they face. #shelfietalk

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

@klivingstoneECE Absolutely heartbreaking I could not imagine the emotional damage they went through during this awful time.

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

Q2: How was this even allowed? Taking children from their parents & the government could keep them away from visiting. Little to no rights & the women/kids had less. Lack of education & they were mistreated. This all resonates with me & leaves me with questions. #Shelfietalk

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

@MsMarianneEllis I agree I am just being educated on this now as well. #shelfietalk

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

Educating those to make it more of a reality. He is bringing awareness to us on just what had happened. They tried to "kill the Indian out of the child" & were removed from their families ages 6-16. Lost their status, women had suffered with poor health, violence. #shelfietalk

Encourage the little ones to read the last thing we wish to do is discourage them away from it. Show them how magical it can be and find joy in reading. #dontlabelbooks #BECEUNB

[Emma @Emmaolivia77]

Let’s change the way we communicate with the children so they feel as though they matter. #BECEUNB #empathy
